DIVINE MONEY appears to be a new business in Peckham. Putting together divinity and money is kind of crazy but, well, why not? Many of us see it as something to worship, although Jesus didn’t, the prophet Mohammed forbade usury, and Buddha would have seen money as impermanent and something that ties a person to the wheel of life. Oddly, now that we are all destined to have less dosh (most of us, not all of us) we’re re-discovering simple joys such as baking bread, growing veg and singing in choirs. Quite divine, really.
Oh, I don't know about those Buddhists. Don't they chant for money? All that Nam Myoho Renge Kyo stuff? I went to a meeting once and they all said they were chanting for material things to improve their lives. I was so appalled, I never went again. What's wrong with sitting under a banyan tree with a begging bowl? Hang on... don't people give you money then? There is no way out!
